Favorite Pea Salad

Favorite Pea Salad combines thawed peas with a dressing made of sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, white vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The addition of crispy bacon crumbles, sharp cheddar cheese, and diced red onions adds contrasting textures and flavors that complement the creamy dressing.
